    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Looks fantastic! Did you do the floor yourself or hire someone to do it for you?

    Thanks all,

    It ended up being a fair amount of money so I did in stages, then I paid to have the mudding, taping, knock down ceiling, floors, Cabinets, benches, and slat wall professionally done.

    I did some of the little things like painting, lighting, etc (Lol so not a lot)

    It also has in floor heating which keeps it nice and warm in the winter, though it is a mess right now!

    Definitely looks great! Do you mind sharing the dimensions of your garage?

    Think of panel and electrical requirements... I went 200Amp into my shop, then "drip feed" the house as opposed to 100A into the house, then ~70A to the garage. It's still one trench, you also hold the house power hostage if need be lol.
    oh man why did I not think of that! Well done sir (for those of us with high power requirements)
    I've been ok with 100a panel ~ 80a service. I have a box fan attached to the rear of my tig welder that i run an extension cord and plug it in my houses when I have to crank ac tig lol but ive been alright. Had I 200a 10 years ago, I would likely have a completely different shop!

    My garage is concrete and after many years of working on cars there are a lot of oil stains and it just doesn't look that great any more.

    What is the best bang for my buck if I want a floor that will be spill resistant and easy to clean? That epoxy flooring posted earlier looks really nice...

    It sounds like the Rustoleum product is decent IF AND ONLY IF you prep it correctly.

    Damn that is a pimping garage.

    I've been procrastinating on even getting mine insulated. At this point I'm probably just gonna pay someone to do it.

    Gladiator stuff at Lowes goes on sale all the time. Not worth it at 100% cost but usually can pickup at 25%+ discounts. Its OK.

    As I understand it, you have to get every last trace of oil out of the concrete or the epoxy won't stick for shit, especially the DIY stuff.

    Look into Ikea kitchen cabinets, they're having their kitchen event right now but it happens twice a year usually. If you get the plain white doors, it's pretty inexpensive I think. They even had a stainless steel finished door that might look good in the garage but the price climbs quite a bit depending on door finishing.

    Here's my cabinet setup:

    Haley Cabinets are VERY nice! I looked at them and decided against as similar to what had made (Though Hailey are more durable, etc) was just over 40k without that big corner one which I have my compressor and some other storage in. I spent 1/3 of that on the cabinets being custom made and installed into the garage.
